Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

Furthermore, Karmic reached EOL on 2011-04-30. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases I've tried recreating this bug with Trusty and was unable to, given the information you've provided. Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible please do what I write above. Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find. ** Changed in: scribus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to scribus in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: scribus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575576 Title: shape countour line editor not working correctly Status in “scribus” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: scribus When attempting to edit a shape, specifically by selecting the property of the shape, selecting the shape tab, then the contour line button and edit in the upper right hand corner of the shape properties box a node properties box opens up. Checking "edit contour line" and selecting the value change box (third rectangle down) and changing the value to 0.1 should enlarge/shrink the contour line value by 0.1. However, the shape is not enlarged or shrunk by 0.1, but rather is enlarged or shrunk according to the shape size. For example, a page number box of .25x.25 has a smaller contour line enlargement than a image box of 2.5x2.5. The enlargement of the contour line is not persistent and consistent with the value. Reproducible in scribus and scribus-ng Edubuntu 9.10, Kubuntu 9.10, Ubuntu 9.10 Scribus 1.3.5, 1.3.6(ng) Please post as an Edubuntu bug as well.
